Hospital radio is still providing a vital service

Evenings on BBC Radio Solent

Available for over a year

A hospital radio station has put out an appeal for requests. Current restrictions mean the volunteers at Southampton's hospital radio station are unable to visit the wards and meet the patients. Their studio has been locked down meaning their programme schedule has been decimated. But the dedicated team are still managing to keep a 24 hour service going using technology and their extensive archive. And they are managing to get one bespoke programme a week out as Abby Oakley explained to BBC Radio Solent's Neil Sackley.
